Thanks to Josh for these notes!

(The “savage prisoner” is who is later named Friday by Robinson Crusoe)

Crusoe reflects on many things in his life
1. His “original sin” to his father
2. How he would escape from the island to the mainland
3. How lucky he was that he never fell into the hands of the cannibals
4. What would happen if he did fall into the cannibals' hands
Crusoe has a dream
1. Saw two canoes and eleven savages on the shore
2. The savage they were going to eat ran away
3. Hid right in front of Crusoe's fortification
4. Crusoe shows himself to the savage who becomes his slave
